“Because in any given situation I might think I know better than you. And I’ll probably be right.” Her impish smile gave him life.
“Fuck yeah, you will be. I’ve been saying that for a while. Quietly, to myself.” He laughed as she pounced on top of him and began to pummel him mercilessly. “No fair, you’ve been learning fighting techniques from the boys.”
“That’s right. Never back down, never surrender, until Mommy shows up and ruins all the fun.”
“She’d better not ruin this fun.” He slid his hands onto her ass and squeezed. He loved the way her satiny cheeks felt under his palms. He molded the curve of her waist and brought his thumbs to her ribs. Her breasts quivered from her quickened breathing. He blew a stream of warm air onto one nipple and watched it pucker.
“Bring it here,” he ordered in a low, thick voice. Lust was gathering hotly in his cock, making it stir from its sleepy state. “Bring those beautiful breasts down here so I can suck you senseless.”
She shifted on his hips and noticed that stiffening rod against her inner thigh. “You want to go again?” The surprise in her voice made him chuckle deep in his throat.
“You bet I do.”
“But it must be way after midnight. Maybe almost dawn. I have actually no idea what time it is. Where’s my phone? Where’s yours?”
“Shhh. Don’t worry about that. Just come on down here.” He put a hand on her sleek back and drew her toward him. When her nipple came into his mouth he closed his eyes at the fleshy satisfaction of it. He suckled deep until he heard her moan and felt her body soften and stretch under his hands.
Oh yeah, he definitely wanted to go again.
He and Jenna had a lot of time to make up for.
Twenty-Four
In the winter wonderland that was Lake Bittersweet after an early blizzard, Jenna and Billy couldn’t keep their hands off each other. Everywhere they went, they somehow managed to sneak away and make out like overgrown teenagers. On their way to Brenda’s grandmother’s wedding, they snuck down an alley and kissed behind the Lake Bittersweet Wilderness Adventures office. Who cared if they were a little late to CeCe and Blaine’s wedding? Not Jenna.
Once the town had gotten the roads cleared, they took the boys sledding. As Zack and Bean hurtled down the hill, screaming bloody murder, Jenna felt Billy’s hand on her ass. Even through snow pants and long underwear, her flesh heated and her insides melted. Instant dreams about what they might do later that night careened through her brain.
With Annika still in Minneapolis, Billy more or less moved in. Officially, he was helping out with the boys. Unofficially, he came to Jenna’s room after the kids were asleep and they pleasured each other until they couldn’t stay awake any longer. During the day, Jenna existed in a state of either sleep deprivation or sex-bliss, or maybe both.
When Billy wasn’t hanging out with the kids while she raced to meet her deadline, he threw himself into the town’s recovery efforts. He volunteered to drive a plow truck to help the crews still clearing some of the more remote roads. Every evening he came home exhausted and sweaty, but exhilarated from the time spent in the snow.
And raring to go another round between her sheets.
Jenna spoke to Annika every day. Hearing her sister’s voice roughened from all the tests and oxygen masks and stress was difficult. But other than that, Annika was her typical wry self.
“Why is it that I never get sick, but when I finally do, it’s something no one can fucking figure out?”
“That’s my sis,” Jenna said proudly. “Unique. One of one. The only one. Someone should write a song about you.”
“Goddamn, how do you find something positive in every situation? How are we even related?”
“Maybe we’re two sides of the same coin, and now the coin has flipped.”
“What? I’m on too much medication to understand what you’re talking about.”
“You were always the one who didn’t believe in love, but now you’re the one who’s being taken care of by a besotted billionaire.”
“Besotted?” Annika crowed with laughter, then coughed. “Brent, did you hear that? You’re besotted.”
“What did he say?” Jenna pressed when Annika’s end of the call went silent for too long a time.
“Oh. Nothing.” From her sister’s flustered tone, Jenna had a pretty good guess. Yes, he was besotted. So was Annika, in Jenna’s opinion, though she wasn’t quite ready to admit it.
“Do you know yet when you can come home? If it’s too much longer we’re all going to come to you.” She and Billy had already discussed piling the entire family in the Tacoma and driving back to Bemidji for another flight to the Twin Cities.
“The doctor promised I’d be home by Christmas. Tyler’s the one who’s happiest about that. I feel terrible keeping his dad away from him for this long. But he wanted to stay in Lake Bittersweet instead of coming to the Twin Cities, so Brent let him.”
“He’s been playing with Zack and Bean a lot. They’re having a blast.” Every day, Zack would ask if they could hang out with Tyler, so Jenna would call up Fun Nanny—the nickname Billy had given her—and they’d arrange something. They often stayed for dinner too. Apparently Tyler had never before eaten macaroni and cheese with cut-up bits of hot dog, which was Zack’s personal favorite.
